Restaurant Superpowers

Subway is already up in the ranks. Who can resist their five dollar footlongs. What an innovative marketing technique that five dollar footlong song turned out to be. It only attracts more customers everyday. The quality and diversity of Quiznos subs may be slightly better but I'm sure Subway has raked in more revenue due to its creative advertising. Ohhhh I see where this is going: Looks like I'm about to give a brief lecture on how to market items from your chains menu. For one, I think folks would be awe-struck if they were to see LeBron James in a Quiznos ad. Kinda like that ad he did for Vitamin Water where he played the lawyer. But the downside of that is that it would cost Quiznos millions just to shoot such an ad so scratch that. But from a psycological standpoint it would draw so many LeBron fans to Quiznos. Here is a curiousity type question: Will LeBron fans every outnumber Subway fans? Perhaps it's a stupid question to ask as the two aren't even comparable. I would have to side with LeBron on this one however. Yes I'm pretty sure premiering a LeBron Quiznos ad will surely keep Quiznos floating over Subway for at least two quarters till Subway plays the Five Dollar Footlong song again on TV which will have Quiznos customers dancing to the tunes all the way to Subway for one delicious footlong! Quiznos could even conceive an ad where they show an old man demanding Subway thinking that it'll help him acheive a boner while watching porno. Although I'm confident the networks would ban this one from airing.

Alright so going back to what I was gonna talk about. I was gonna say that Subway, Quiznos, and a new restaurant Lolos will be considered the three new restaurant superpowers out on the streets. Lolos is up and coming but who knows it may kick Subway and Quiznos on it's hineys due to it's maintaining good health concept. But peeps will have to start franchising it first in a vast array of locations before Lolos can ever even be on par with the other two restaurant giants. Subway or Quiznos are also healthy but Lolos is like "omg healthy", this includes the mayo, ketchup, mustard, and misc. sauces kept on the sides.

I will have to confess though one of the reasons why I prefer Subway over Quiznos is because of the catchy tunes of their five dollar footlong commercials. I mean what else can it be? Inspite of the upgraded quality Quiznos presents in their sandwiches I still buttsniff Subway? Amazing phenomenom. I'll have to place myself under intense scrutiny here.
